I'll Miss You
When I last looked upon your face.
I thought my life was so profound
Since then I've been put in my place.
My life is now turned upside down.
All of my direction and my drive,
I had when I was with you is now gone.
My sense of purpose has now died
Just why and where did I go wrong?
I tried to plan for the future,
Now I'm starting to lose my mind.
My whole life is getting bleaker,
The hands on this wheel are not mine.
I thought I knew my destiny,
And just where we were going,
But darn it, you won't let me breathe,
Seems my troubles just keep growing.
All I wanted was to settle down,
Then lay my weary head to rest,
Let some smiles replace my frown,
And have life turn out for the best.
Now I stare into my dim future,
Only a blank fog stares back at me.
Will I ever be in control?
Just when will I ever, ever be free?
There are times that I feel as though
My heart might simply crack then drop
Oh please, dear, tell me when
Will this loneliness ever stop.
I still recall the way you laughed,
The way you made me feel secure.
But now that life is in my past.
I'll really miss you, that's for sure.
